What is the best type of mattress to prevent aches and pains?

Question

When I awake I often have pain to my neck or back which dissipates rather quickly. I wonder if it is from my mattress or pillows or if it is Arthritis beginning to exhibit itself. Whatever it is which mattress provides the best comfort and support?

Answer 1

It could be both that's giving you pains. But I would go see your doctor frist before buying a new mattress. I have a tempurpedic mattress right now, and it doese not work. I still wake up with pain, and when I was pregnant I was not comfortable at all. I had to sleep with six pillows. I had a hard mattress that did not work, then I a Sealy mattress that did not work at all. I had to thorw it way because it was bowing and I had it for less the a year. The places were I get it would not take it back. If I could buy a new mattress I would go for the Sleep number. Were you can pick your comfort.

Answer 2

I think a good quality memory foam mattress will provide the best support. It does not have to be one of the leading brands but the actual composition of the mattress is important.
